Can I make english muffin breakfast pizza ahead of time?

You can prep parts of it ahead, like cooking the sausage and making the gravy, then store them in the fridge for up to a day. When you’re ready to eat, reheat those components and assemble the pizzas fresh so the English muffins stay crisp.

Why is my sawmill gravy too thick or too thin?

Gravy thickens as it cools, so it may look perfect in the pan but tighten up later. If it’s too thick, stir in a small splash of warm milk until it loosens. If it’s too thin, let it simmer gently for another minute or two while stirring.

Can I bake this instead of using the broiler?

Yes, you can bake the assembled breakfast pizzas at 400°F for about 8 to 10 minutes. The cheese will melt nicely, but you won’t get quite the same bubbly top as the broiler, so baking is a good option if you prefer a gentler finish.

How do I keep the English muffins from getting soggy?

Lightly toasting the English muffins before adding any toppings is key. This creates a barrier that helps them stay crisp, even with gravy and eggs on top.

Can I use bacon or ham instead of sausage?

Absolutely. Bacon or ham both work well and still give you that savory breakfast flavor. Just keep in mind that you may need to add a bit of butter to the pan to make the gravy if there aren’t enough drippings.

Ingredients

Scale

1 package English muffins, split
8 large eggs

2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup sausage drippings or butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cook Mode Keep your screen awake while you cook

Instructions

Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned, then remove it and reserve about 1/4 cup of the drippings in the pan.
Add the flour to the hot drippings and stir constantly, cooking until the mixture turns lightly golden and smells nutty.
Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until the gravy thickens, then season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
Lightly toast the English muffins until just golden and set aside.
Scramble the eggs gently in a nonstick skillet until just set but still soft.
Arrange the toasted English muffins on a baking sheet and top each with gravy, scrambled eggs, sausage, and a slice of cheddar cheese.
Place under a hot broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbling, then serve immediately.

Notes

Toast the English muffins before assembling to prevent sogginess.
If using lean sausage, add butter to make enough drippings for the gravy.
This recipe works well for breakfast or breakfast for dinner.
